Selecting Referee and Judges

[juandabomb]

They should select the referees and judges for all fights the day of the fight. they already have a pool of judges and refs on hand to do this. this will avoid anyone from being wined and dined days before the fight. simply draw the names from a pool..... anyone else have a better idea???

That would mean all judges and referees having to travel to the fight. Impossible.

in vegas its always the same judges and refs, they live in vegas...same goes for the ones in the new york area.

don't over exaggerate protocol just for one fight ffs...

if anything, reserve your idea for rigondeaux vs lomachenko.

besides, you want judges with particular experience in title fights. many people on the board have justified scenarios from how the judges may have scored before, of course all subjective but moreso reasonable.

the problem is the pool of judges/refs that they have have to pick from have been corrupted...and thats the way they want it. you dont get these positions unless you know where your bread is buttered. tony weeks should have been sacked for his performance in the garcia/matthysse fight but he was actually promoted! kenny bayless for his performance in the 2nd maidana fight...but he was promoted to the biggest fight of all time. this is no coincidence. if you help get the desired result. you will be back in action.

Good idea but by doing that they're admitting there's a good possibility their judges can be corrupted.

The sport is what it is. I watched Floyd vs Alvarez last night again, and people exaggerate the bout. Alvarez is really really good and he was catching Floyd at close range where other opponents couldn't. he was younger and at 152. If CJ Ross never had scored Bradley vs Pac 1, nobody would care for the 114-114. Alvarez started out really good. The kid is fast as foook, but I'm a Floyd fan full swing, just giving credit where it's due

speaking of which, I see Nelo and his strategy well preped for GGG. Mayweather was a completely different fight and expectation

Everyone would complain about that 114-114 card no matter who scored it that way. Because it was CJ Ross it was the last straw for her.

LOL would be hilarious seeing a bunch of refs & judges outside of T-Mobile like guys looking for work in the great depression.

Yea idk about that idea. Idk how you police refs & judges realllllly outside of after the fact. You move up the good ones & move down the bad ones. And idk that they don't do that to some degree already, but idk if they do it to the degree they could.

I think one underrated thing that would help get rid of bad judges is to make the criteria for winning a round less subjective. Now you can pretty much favor anything you want, within reason, & give a guy a round without getting commissions panties in a bunch. If it was less arguable what won a round & people couldn't explain that xyz won the round for a guy cuz everyone could see it it'drop that judge down to lesser fights easier & out of the sport completely if it kept being a problem.

Yeah but the Pacquiao Bradley 1 incident is what started it for MayNelo
